Working For Each Other, Working For Ourselves:

A Revolutionary Public Service Worker-Organizer Summit

On October 3rd-4th 2015, the Industrial Workers of the World’s Toronto General Membership Branch hosted “Working For Each Other, Working For Ourselves: A Revolutionary Public Service Worker-Organizer Summit,” an event which brought together grassroots workplace organizers from around North America.

A major component of today's economy, the public services are often hit first and hard by austerity and other cut backs. As workers, we need to organize ourselves to fight these battles in the community centres, grocery stores, bedrooms and office towers where we work for the benefit of other people.

Plenary: Public Service Workers' Struggles and Public Services After Capitalism.
